Magnet Myths and Misconceptions

Just look in the mirror for that.

Ah so...the old hidden 2 way mirror trick, to get me to gaze upon the troll directly.

That doosh can't get up early enough to fool ol' Cap...aaaayup.

You are quite correct I did not specify that the wire was carrying a current and it is not up to you to second guess.  So please allow me to clarify:

If we take a wire and pass a DC current through it,  according to your ideas where is the north charge and where is the south charge?

This supports my theory. If we are to call them north and south charges,then each charge of opposite potential travels in opposite direction until such time as they merge together. If one end of the compass needle points in the direction of the north charge,then the other end of the compass needle points to the opposite charge-the south charge.

If we take that same wire passing a DC current and form it into a loop 2cm in diameter where is the north charge and where is the south charge?

The north charge will travel from center of the loop outward in one direction(depending on current flow direction through the loop),and rap around the loop,while the south charge will travel from the center of the loop and travel outward in the opposite direction to that of the north charge,and rap around the loop in a counter direction to that of the north charge.-See pic below.

If we take a longer wire passing a DC current and form it into two adjacent loops 2cm in diameter, spaced 1 cm apart where is the north charge and where is the south charge?

This would be dependant on the size of the wire,and the amount of current being passed through it. If enough current is supplied to the wire,then the fields of each loop would start to merge together to form on field to that depicted below.

If we take a still longer wire still passing a DC current and form it into fifty loops 2cm in diameter, each spaced 1cm apart, a straight section of 1meter, and another fifty loops 2cm in diameter, each spaced 1cm apart, where is the north charge and where is the south charge?

As above,and i suspect that the 1 meter distance between the two sets of loops is enough to keep the two complete fields seperate.

You are easily the creepiest person on this web site.  'Nuff said.

One could make a parody of "The most interesting man in the world" from that. 

"... fill in description of acts ... He is the creepiest person on this web site." 

"I don't always troll referencing bodily functions, but when I do, I try to disgust.  Stay creepy my friends."

Just look in the mirror for that.

Geeze, Crap-Z-ro claims that you are the most disrespected on this website?  By whom...him?  I would agree with that.

Crap-Z-ro disrespects anyone that is more intelligent and educated than he is...and that includes just about everyone.

MH, I would ask him to show just one single post of his that offered any real contribution to ANY subject on this site.  He will not be able to.
He can, however, offer thousands of posts about bodily functions, sexual preferences, gay activities, etc.

He is still on super-permanent IGNORE but, I could not help seeing his post in your quote. (I wish we could fix that)  You have offered a lot of useful and
intelligent postings that have real information.  Crap-Z-ro...not so much.

So, my advice is to just carry on and ignore him...literally.
